CHANGE YOUR MAJOR

Currently enrolled students who would like to change their major should make a phone or virtual/online appointment with an Advising Center team member in Navigate or by emailing academicadvising@yorktech.edu. The Advising Center team member will assist you with completing the Program Change Form. The program change will be effective at the beginning of the next term. New Faculty Program Advisors are assigned when an academic program change is made. 

 

UNDECIDED

Career Counseling is available for students who are undecided or uncertain about their major. The TypeFocus career assessment is free to students who want to explore how their interests, personality, and values align with certain majors and careers. A Career Counselor is available to interpret the results and help students decide on an educational and career path that is right for them.

Meta-Majors are also available for first-time students to participate in during their first semester at York Tech. Meta-Majors are collections of academic majors (degrees and certificates) that have related courses and fit within a common career area.  The intent of selecting a Meta-Major is to help new, undecided students choose a major and degree based on their interests, knowledge, skills and abilities.  Each meta-major has a common first term of courses so that students do not lose time or money while finalizing a major at York Tech.
